Myles Turner: “I build Legos—it’s literally all I do in my downtime. It’s a way to take my mind off of things. Put some music on, a show on; at least 3-4 hours of my day I’m putting stuff together. I’ve already built 12 different projects. I’ve gone through 120,000 Legos since the season started.”

My dream
I’d rather him build with legos vs bricks 🔥😂 but imagine the lego sets he can afford lmao
Man imagine being able to spend thousands of dollars on LEGO sets without a care in the world
Must be nice
Honestly that sounds like an incredible existence. Just hoop and then go home and meditate over some expensive ass lego set
Easiest sponsorship right there
I use to spend all night building legos when I was a kid. It’s nice to hear grown men let alone NBA players still play with Legos
i need to get into legos bro
I just started this myself, it’s really a great way to take your mind off things
Expensive though 🙁
Bro is living the dream
It never hits me how much people like legos until I’m at a conference and half the vendors are raffling out lego sets
Bro is playing Minecraft irl
I absolutely love when pro athletes say things like this that don’t adhere to the “tough masculine” archetype that is the status-quo. Reminds me of all the anime fanboy stuff that Jamaal Williams would say during pressers for the Lions last year. This kind of stuff is particularly wholesome when you consider the paradigm they are setting for the future generation of athletes that they don’t have to compromise on their hobbies and joys just because a “typical athlete” wouldn’t enjoy those things
Sponsorship
I’ve seen his Lego work. Impressive 🫡
Only real ones played with Lincoln Logs.
If I had that kinda money I’d be doing the same thing.
expensive hobby
I saw his tik toks when he was showing off his sets and it got me reinterested in legos
All I want is to make enough money to buy a shit ton of LEGO sets. They are my therapy. I am at peace when I’m building LEGO
Victor is apparently big into Legos, too. This generation of pro athletes is a lot more willing to be unapologetically themselves than the guys of 10-20 years ago.
Much smarter way to spend his time than how ja does….
Bricklink enjoyer
This is amazing I love legos and now I love miles turner lol
Saves money from going clubbing
he is deadass living my life goal
Wonder how long he’s been a Cowboys fan. If it’s longer then 5 years then I feel his pain.
Man, that’s a sweet ass hobby.
Did this guy just become one of my fave players!!
My favorite is “I build legos, not play with legos.”
He posts about legos pretty frequently on social media. A few examples:

Get Zion some Legos & Ozempic

He’s got it figured out. Building the Rivendell set with LOTR on in the background benfitted my mental health immensely, its such a calming activity. And its about as expensive as therapy.
I don’t really build legos but when I graduate and move out I’m buying the $400 Hogwart’s Castle and the $400 Hogwarts Express Train.
Woj: Miles Turner out of the next game day-to-day (foot). Stepped on his lego.
I spent so much money on legos before I had my first kid. It just got too expensive. I would absolutely do this if I had millions.
3 to 4 hours everyday is crazy
This is pretty cool.
I do something similar with plastic models like Gundams. Cheaper overall and you can really do amazing things if you get into customizing them
he actually has a life size lego replica of himself
I feel like going into work flow is kind of like meditation.
“Basketball is not [the] main thing in my life and is probably never going to be. And to be honest, I like it because I have something more at home that is more important than basketball.”

Zion Williamson: “I eat Eggos–it’s literally all I do in my downtime. It a way to take my mind off of things…at least 3-4 hours all of my day I’m eating stuff together. I’ve already had 12 different feasts. I’ve gone through 120,000 calories since the week started.”
The Architect: Seth Rollins 🤝 The Architect Myles Turner
Then one day he steps on a brick; season’s over.
Man why does Zion’s expensive habit have to be heauxxxs instead of something harmless like legos.
I love it, Lego is great.
I go for those 3D woodcut models of animals with the slots that you slide together snugly.
Fucking based
My new favorite player. I buy ones from goodwill or the bin store and sometimes they have all the pieces, sometimes not. All the manuals are online and it’s an extra challenges to replace or improvise missing pieces.
